Goodness me this one took a lorra, lorra research, but hopefully, I've only included enough to give you an immersive experience and not bored you with all the details which fascinated me.
So much stuff I never knew about Enigma codes and Bletchley Park (I even spent in a day at the place, cramming in as much as I could).
Apart from the memory of the whole family crowded round a tiny, black-and-white TV, I don't remember much about the England/Germany game in 1966. I was only 6 at the time - old enough to know it was a big deal and love the pink wafer biscuits and Corona's "ice-cream soda."
This will give you a flavour of Kev's decidedly dodgy experiences:
Kev buried his demons when he was 22. And dug them up again 22 years before he was born.
Shortly before paranoia sets in, Kev discovers the secret his housemates are keeping from him. The Time Capsule in the attic? It really works. His first time-travel jaunt has him witnessing a historic cup final, courtesy of Georgie, who reveals previously hidden depths.
When they’re paired in a WWII Bletchley Park role-play scenario, Kev sees a different side to her – while she thinks he totally rocks the trench coat and fedora as a 1940s spy. Bonus!
Obsessed with the Jules Rimet trophy-theft, he returns to 1966, where his investigation attracts unsavoury attention, and he has to dig deep for the skills to survive. With nasty side-effects. He didn’t mean for Georgie to bear the brunt, but what is it they say about hurting the one - no, seriously?
Anyway, you can pick up your copy of Time Kicks Back by clicking the link - a steal at £2.99/$3.49 or read for free on Kindle Unlimited. Continue the fun adventures of a bunch of 30-something geeks as they explore their family's pasts with the aid of a temperamental time capsule in the attic. Although it can be read as a standalone, reading the other two first will give insight into the complicated relationships between them.
